In our contemporary times, even in this 21st century when men are synergising and advancing in various discipline to fundamentally better the lives of humanity, elsewhere, others congregate to not only mortgage the destiny of their fellows, but to covertly scheme to have them totally eliminated for ill-conceived and self-serving interests. This crop of psychopathically diseased individuals, I tag "BEASTS OF ARMAGEDDON", in the context of this article. These are men created by God to issue out His glory and blessing in their immediate environments but they rather chose constituting themselves into destructive and willing tools in the hands of the devil. These are beasts in human structure hellishly commissioned to perpetuate atrocious activities against indigenous generations.

The British enterprise called Nigeria, was subtly contrapted in the year 1914 principally to service the crass egocentric interests of the colonial overlords. They groomed their eternal puppets in the mold of Fulani hegemonic Islamic fundamentalists for control over and against all other divergent ethnic nationalities. The Arewas, Oduduwas and Biafrans were forcefully merged into a federation structured on lies, deception, selfishness, slavishness and failure. The amalgamation theory was conceptualized, scripted, signed and foisted on the people by the white supremacists as a binding document authenticating the evil union, and depriving the rightful indigenous people particularly Biafrans, of their land ownership. This unholy union, entered into without due consent of the people, has precipitated a cacophony of harmful policies arising from damnable hostilities, impoverishment, enslavement and gravitated genocidal onslaught intently measured against Biafrans.

Nigeria, contrapted and leased to the Fulanis under the strict and close supervision of the capitalist British colonialists, has remained wholistically feckless since the discovery of vast crude oil and gas deposits across the coastal area of Biafraland, from whence comes the economic survival of the British and their Arewa/Oduduwa surrogates. The Biafran indigenous land owners who ordinarily by providence were supposedly the direct and primary beneficiaries, have remained subservient and gravely impoverished. Unbearably prompted by the spate of this maladious, melancholic and oppressive policy of subjugation, emasculation and attendant deaths of Biafrans, seccessionist bid for self-determination in 1967, became the only redemptive alternative. That of course resulted in the death of over four million Biafrans including innocent children, women and men, through three years of annihilative war orchestrated by the Nigerian government in concert with her foreign allies led by British mercenaries.

It is heartwrenching therefore, to state here that Nigeria remains even in this 21st century, the only entity where those who find themselves in positions of authority, repeatedly and shamelessly preach unity and love amongst inhabitants, why? Recall that the so-called amalgamation agreement of 1914, officially expired on 31st December, 2014, thereby precipitating series of explosive and irrepressible conflicts/revolutions against the "Nigeria corporate existence question". Biafrans, since the end of the genocidal war levied against them between 1967 and 1970, have been subjected to series of servitude within the Nigeria political, economic and social strata.

The advent of democracy in 1999, has further elucidated the pauperisation of the Biafran people. Bands of political slaves/merchants, religious sell-outs and intellectual buffoons of Biafra extraction, have equally and shamelessly joined the fray of oppressors against their own people because of frivolous gains. They, with their social media recruited hooligans amongst other renegades across Biafraland, have treacherously compromised the collective aspiration of their fellow compatriots for the crumbs that fall off the tables of their Fulani slavemasters. These are the beasts that have dug themselves in by wittingly mortgaging their consciences for selfish aggrandizement.

The Fulani Islamic fundamentalists in connivance with their British advisers have relentlessly being on a killing spree against Biafrans. The Islamic terrorists infested Nigeria army has turned the entire Biafra territory, a relatively peaceful area, into an avenue to display their potency and latest hardware in it's evil expeditions in their persistent victimization and deception of law abiding Biafran citizens. Right from 2015 till date, thousands of Biafrans including children, men and women, have been extra-judicially arrested, incarcerated, brutalised, molested, maimed, killed and bathed with raw acidic substances before burial by armed security forces. The judiciary has compromisingly remained comical in the adjudication of justice. Biafrans have intermittently come under tyrannical policies of the Nigerian government for legitimately exercising their inalienable rights to self-determination as enshrined both in the Nigerian Constitution and other relevant International Laws. Biafrans serving in the Nigerian army have covertly been made easy targets of Boko Haram terrorists attacks. Quite a number of them have steadily been massacred at battle fronts under the firm and strategic decimation policy of Lieutenant-General Tukur Yusuf Buratai, the Nigerian Army Chief of Staff and his fellow Northern Islamic Army Commanders. The marauding Fulani killer herdsmen (terrorists) have remained untouchable in their trade of impunity, brandishing AK47 riffles, killing people, destroying farmlands with their cattle and raping women, with reckless abandon. The Fulani Islamic fundamentalists run Nigerian government has not deemed it expedient and right to either arrest or prosecute them in any court of law.

Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the courageous leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) globally, has occasionally been victimized and vilified by these "commissioned messengers of death" and their baby saboteurs, clearly living true to their intrigues and trades. All these are being perpetuated through the complicity of Biafran snitches who pride in and promote personal gains over and against the wishes of their own people. But one thing remains definitely certain. The unfettered restoration project of the sovereignty of the nation of Biafra remains irrefutably sacrosanct. It is a project that is divinely orchestrated which no cunning craftiness or plots of treachery by mortal beings anywhere, can truncate. Biafrans should therefore, maintain focus, resoluteness, resilience, courage and boldness in the struggle while firmly standing on the truth/established principles of this mandate, to tromp the malefic antecedents of these "Beasts of Armageddon". With the encouraging and victorious developments as very recently recorded, we should always note that Biafra freedom/restoration have been secured, sealed and delivered as ordained by God Almighty Himself and this is uncontestable.

EDUCATING BIAFRANS ON THE NEED TO EMBRACE THE LIFTED BAN ON NIGERIA ELECTION BOYCOTT

When the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) said Nigeria organized elections will be boycotted, there was definitely a potent factor behind such resoluteness and that is why IPOBians remain exceptionally enviable breed of humans. When such a command is being issued out by the leadership, members emphatically echo "No Referendum, No Election", in unanimous response. This comfirms the fact that no amount of threat from the Nigerian security forces can deter us from legitimately and clinically carrying out any civil action like the planned election boycott which hinged on Nigeria government's signing of IPOB demands. Pulling that overriding interest through was the reason why the planned total and complete boycott action was orchestrated with Sit-At-Home.
Recall vividly that our leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, in his recent live radio broadcasts, stated that "if the zoo (Nigeria) yields to our demands, we shall call off the election boycott". This was complied with though belatedly by the government. So it must be noted that opportunities abound in various freedom agitations. There are windows for negotiations and that allow the agitator to give opportunity to the enemy to duly respond and that gave rise in our case, to firstly initiate the civil action, to press home our demands as a people.

We must not forget that it is by the cooperation of Nigeria and the United Nations that the conduct of Biafra referendum could be facilitated as absence of such, will hamper the exercise of franchise. The Nigerian government in it's despotic enterprise, will definitely unleash terror and kill our people. This is the wisdom behind the offered opportunity to compel them to accede to our conditions, clearly indicating that we are strategically, bringing them under our subjugative terms. In few days, be rest assured that the leadership of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) globally, shall detail the family with the full import of the negotiations. Meanwhile, it is expected that IPOB family members repose total confidence on the capability and capacity of the leadership in every segment of the struggle. Through this show of loyalty and trust, it enjoys uninhibited power of attorney to take viable decisions for the interest of all. We must not question their sincerity and wisdom nor doubt their resoluteness. Rare global reputation has been built and enormous sacrifices made. These choice men and women cannot trifle with the destiny of their people. They can never breach that oath. Rejoice therefore Biafrans, for this latest achievement is a win, win, for all us.

Events surrounding the postponement of the Nigerian presidential elections previously scheduled for today February 16, 2019 is confirmation that IPOB decision to lift the boycott was a masterstroke that took the cabal by surprise. The move by IPOB apex leadership to call off the boycott made it virtually impossible for Jubril and his handlers to proceed to rig the elections on the account that IPOB boycotted the polls. It is now clear for the world to see that some nefarious elements within the corridors of power in Aso Rock wanted so desperately for IPOB to boycott these elections in order to justify their already perfected script that our boycott made it possible for them to emerge victorious. By calling off the boycott, Jubril and his cabal lost the initiative and were headed straight for defeat.

Our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the prophet of our time, is light years ahead of the intrigues and machinations that characterise politics in Nigeria. Had the leadership of our great movement IPOB not called off the boycott, the sham elections would have proceeded as rigged, with a Sudanese impostor Jubril announced as the winner on account that IPOB boycotted the exercise.

Anybody who is still in doubt about the potency of IPOB will undoubtedly have a rethink after this. Quite obviously, the IPOB boycott call off took the Nigerian corrupt establishment unawares. A simple statement from our leader has exposed voting in Nigeria as a huge joke. Let the riggers go back and plan how to rig well. What a country, what a contraption.

In effect, our leader calling off the boycott was a huge shock they were unable to manage. Lt. Gen. Tukur Burarai's threat and ochestrated army violence against peaceful IPOB in the run up to February 16 were all designed to maximise the impact of the intended boycott because that was the outcome they desired. This plan fell apart as soon as soon as IPOB called off the boycott. Therefore, they had no choice than to postpone the elections. That Nigeria is not voting today is due to what some people have called the IPOB effect.

IPOB late announcement of the lifting of the boycott was what led to this last minute postponement by INEC, because they had ample time throughout the week to postpone the elections but failed to do so. The fear of IPOB is the beginning of wisdom, only fools pretend otherwise.

COMRADE EMMA POWERFUL MEDIA AND PUBLICITY SECRETARY FOR IPOB.

Friday, 15 February 2019

Following the unanticipated announcement of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) worldwide, on the night of Thursday, 14th February 2019, about the reversal of the election boycott order placed on Nigeria's presidential election billed for Saturday 16th February 2019, various social media platforms have been witnessing some level of pandemonium. To quite a number of Biafrans, this sudden swift of action by IPOB leadership seems almost incomprehensible and unbelievable. There have been insinuations that the leadership may have even been compromised. Fanatics of People's Democratic Party (PDP), a major opposition party in Nigeria, and Personal Voters Card (PVC) advocates, have in like manner, misconstrued the reversal declaration and very erroneously, been celebrating victory of a war they never have any figment of knowledge about.

One exceptionally powerful aspect of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), is it's unique proactiveness in engaging with the Nigerian State. When Mazi Nnamdi Kanu first declared in the year 2017, that without any form of official internationally witnessed referendum treaty sealed by IPOB, there would not be any Nigerian organized election across Biafraland, lots of people even within the IPOB family, strongly criticized the audacity of the IPOB leader to have made such a declaration. To Chief John Nnia Nwodo's led Ohaneze Ndigbo socia-cultural group, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is only proudly arrogating to himself, the leadership of the entire Igboland, thereby biting more than he can chew. Others labeled IPOB as instigators of anarchy in Biafraland.

It has very unfortunately, been seasons of cold war between IPOB and Ohaneze Ndigbo, several other Igbo socia-cultural groups, political elites and their corresponding sharp-toothed blind praise singers, eversince. The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) globally, has very uncompromisingly, shown enormous amount of determination and resolve against all odds and has equally enjoyed massive solidarity and followership from Biafrans and lovers of freedom, which has greatly rattled the adversary's camp, with the Nigerian government inclusive. Just in the evening of Thursday 14th February 2019, before the lifting of the election boycott, I was personally responding to a reputable advocate of PDP, who seemed confused on why despite Mazi Nnamdi Kanu's conviction and series of irrefutable forensic evidence that the original Muhammadu Buhari is dead and who is being presently impersonated by a Sudanese, he yet remained adamantly opposed to Biafrans participating in the presidential polls, which invariably gives the impostor and the cabals a lifeline in Aso Rock for the next four years.

I emphatically made the young fellow to understand that IPOB's election boycott stance is not borne out of fear of Jubril Aminu Al-Sudani (impostor) winning a second term, neither should anyone expect IPOB to throw it's weight behind Atiku Abubakar, without reaching any tangible pact that will facilitate and benefit the Biafra struggle on the long run. The young man further asked how could election boycott bring Biafra into reality. My response was that if election boycott as a bargaining threat can give an internationally monitored and recognized referendum, then Biafra restoration is already a done deal. I made it frankly known that since Atiku Abubakar and his political party (PDP), have refused to reach a concessional agreement with IPOB over the perfect reasons behind the elections boycott threat, they then have absolutely no genuine political intention towards solving the seemingly endemic problems ravaging Nigeria and therefore, deserves to painfully lose.

Interestingly and shortly after the conversation, the leadership caucus of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) globally, put up the announcement that the presidential election boycott has been lifted as a result of an official pact reached with relevant political actors of Nigeria, in the presence of the international community. It was really heartwarming on hearing that announcement. IPOB has done it!, I screamed. I quickly called some of my friends who either expressed mixed feelings or were surprisingly unhappy about the development.

I had to really talk uncommon sense into them. It is purely irrational and smacks of mental weakness for any IPOB family member, ardent supporter/sympathizer, to nurse any form of thought that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and of course, the leadership caucus of the IPOB, have sabotaged the Biafra restoration cause by calling off the election boycott. I have been in IPOB, have studied the organization for quite a while and I have strong faith in it, for me to succumb to unnecessary, negative emotions or begin to consider prevarication by thinking that the IPOB leadership has compromised the struggle it has so much invested in and garnered several international reputation.

Truth be told therefore, that the real heroes of the reversed election boycott decision by the IPOB leadership, are not the PDP irate mob that think they can achieve anything meaningful by fabricating inconceivable lies against Mazi Nnamdi Kanu or by bullying IPOB supporters into voting against the standing order. Rather, the heroic legends are the millions of IPOB family members who since 2017, have saturated the Nigerian State and the International Community with relentless campaigns and messages of Nigeria election boycott as a potent sophisticated weapon of our civil disobedience. Now that the IPOB leadership has given us the assurance that the purpose of which the election boycott action was instituted has been achieved and therefore, boycott lifted, there exists absolutely no reason why any genuine Biafran should not celebrate to the shame of all the enemies of the Biafra restoration project.

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) worldwide, is presently holding Nigeria at the jugular whether the political gladiators implement the second "ABURI ACCORD" or not. The sacrifice of all who have given their lives for this course, can never ever be in vain, neither will Nigeria ever remain the same again.

I woke up today with this prophetic quote of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu where he said that ONLY 100 MEN IS ENOUGH TO RESTORE BIAFRA. As days become weeks and months become years, the reality of this statement continue to wear flesh, forming life into reality. For these past months I have been thinking. And my thinking led me thus far into the road whence we came. The struggle is really a difficult one, but it's only the strong minded that will stay till the end.

I have written about acquiring the right spirit for a struggle and also understanding the meaning of struggle. A lot of us has no clue about what a struggle is. Struggle is a thing of gigantic size. It's a colossus. In a struggle you obey command. It's like soldiers in a war front whose only means of survival is obedience to their commander. Believe me I am not here today to make you understand or plead with any of you. Or make you to feel good. I have been blocked and unfriend by many yet I am still here. I am here to ask you to stand and be counted among the 100 men Mazi Nnamdi Kanu requested. I have read most of you from the other side where I was, and I am highly disappointed.

I don't need to tell you that Nnamdi Kanu has proven himself worthy. I am here to tell you that I have tested the spirit guiding him and I can say that it's the right spirit. He is the biblical Joshua that will lead the people of Biafra into freedom. Oh! I am disappointed! Didn't Nnamdi Kanu repeatedly say in his broadcast that UNLESS THEY MEET OUR DEMAND, WE WILL NOT VOTE? Yes he did. Even from the other side I heard him loud and clear. Just yesterday, he announced to us that OUR DEMAND HAS BEEN MET, and I started seeing some funny write ups from those claiming to be supporting Biafra. I am disappointed, but not surprised. I am not surprised because the words of Kanu concerning 100 men is real and always echoes in my mind.

As a Biafran, I have Nigeria international passport. I have Nigeria national Id card and PVC and also use Naira. These things doesn't make me less a Biafran. I will continue using them till Biafra comes, and might even keep them ever after. Something must remain for educational materials. So why the noise?

How come every body needs a copy of the demand? Why is it that suddenly, we have lost discipline? Where lies our patience? What is the noise about?

We said we will boycott unless they meet our demand. Should our leader not call off the boycott since something has been reached? Isn't it the plan from the start?

Some Biafrans are even saying they were wise for standing against boycott from day one. FOOLS. You mean you are wise for not holding onto something and forcing the criminal politicians to reach an agreement? Where is your brain? IPOB didn't call off the election because election has started counting. We didn't suspend it to start campaigning for politicians. We are IPOB, we called it off because IPOB leadership has been reached and something is on ground.

You really don't know me. If Our leader says boycott again an hour to tomorrow's election, I will immediately stand down in solidarity with him. I will start waving the flag of boycott again. That's me. That's because I already have a commander I can trust. A leader that can die for his people.

At this moment I must say this.

If you ever doubted Mazi Nnamdi Kanu after he called off the election boycott, then you are not worthy of this struggle. Start working on yourself.

The only weapon we have is unity of purpose. The command and control chain.

The only reason the boycott was called off is because our demand has been met. And the only reason we are boycotting is to force them to agree to our demand. Other reasons are secondary.

This is a power play, and we must play well and intelligently. If USA wants Buhari out and kind of reached out to our leader for a call off of the boycott, with a promise to look into our demand, won't we take it? Don't you know that the same powers can make Atiku agree to something and make him keep it. Yes, I am only insinuating, but I know it's not far from this. Why can't you grow some virtues?

Some Atikulators are really same with Buharists. So these people are still fighting, even when the call off seemed to favor them. Some pro Biafran writers are asking what we are going to vote with. I can't believe someone is asking this question. Did we all turn 18 this year? Didn't we tell you we are boycotting election and not PVC? Didn't we tell you that without PVC you are not an eligible boycotter? Why are people stupid and foolish?

We have been accused of many things. Atikulators accused us of being sponsored by Buhari. Now Buharists are the ones accusing us. It is expected! We have gotten something. Stop asking if they will obey the agreement. We have seen it before. Aburi accord is a lesson. The struggle continues. No looking back.

We can only stop when Biafra is restored. I thank immensely those that kept asking about me. Thanks to those that reached out through calls and messages.

NNAMDI KANU & IPOB DIRECTORATE CALLS OFF ELECTION BOYCOTT IN SOUTH EAST REGION.

It is important we notify the world at large and the indefatigable global IPOB family in particular that our supreme leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has called-off the election boycott in Biafraland. After a brief emergency session of the Directorate of State (DOS) late last night, presided over by our leader, where it was determined that all our terms and conditions had been met by those wishing us to lift the ban on voting, it was unanimously agreed that the boycott should be lifted. The signed document agreeing to IPOB terms and conditions are in our possession and will be made public in due course.

We can therefore state with utmost sense of responsibility and pride that IPOB has accomplished what no other people or group has been able to do in the history of our people. Without prejudice, this will go down as the defining moment when the irreversibibility of the restoration of Biafra was firmly entrenched in the subconscious of all and sundry. As a result of which we can state categorically that Biafra is a lot closer than we think as a result of this.

Our detractors and opponents have also realised that IPOB is a super-structure that can't be blackmailed nor intimidated into conceding an inch without getting what they want. We regret the lateness of this agreement that led to the calling off at the eleventh hour but it must be seen as a negotiating ploy designed to wear IPOB down which failed woefully. We stood very firm and got every concession we asked for in line with what our leader outlined in numerous recent broadcasts.

If there were any doubt before regarding the potency of IPOB, this successful outcome has dispelled all of it. Therefore it is full steam ahead towards Biafra restoration because IPOB has achieved something most people thought was impossible. IPOB worldwide has proven that the impossible is achievable with dedication and demonstrable sense of purpose.

Our leader made it clear on many occasions that unless our terms are met the elections will be boycotted. Having met those conditions, our leader triumphantly lifted the boycott late last night.

The leadership hereby commends the worldwide IPOB family, especially our legendary volunteers, our fathers, mothers and e-warriors that battled the enemy to standstill. We salute their doggedness, resoluteness and resilience towards this fight for Biafra freedom and this greatest achievement we have so far made.

Therefore, we wish to inform the world that our preconditions and demands which we set out to accomplish from the onset, has been conceded to and taken care of without much alteration. Our struggle for total Biafra independence has been enhanced as a result of this.
